A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
UCLA maintains a minimum EPEAT requirement of Silver in order for the product to be promoted through one of our approved procurement channels. (i.e.) ACER the 2nd largest PC OEM does not meet our UCLA EPEAT requirements and as a result their hugely popular desktops/laptops are not available through any of the existing UCLA contracts or UCLA approved procurement channels.
UCLA Strategic Sourcing has taken measures that shipping materials be styrofoam-free. HP Bulk Packaging has also been endorsed. When orders are received for 8+ units, Bulk Packaging is automatically initiated without the need to consult the end-user.
